The election in Iraq has brought the Islamic religious faction into the majority. True, and if you've actually read parts of the Koran and spoke with Muslims, you'd know that the actions of Muslim extremists, country aside, do not reflect how the majority of Muslims feel and live their lives. That hi
Have you at least asked transplanted local Muslims their thoughts regarding "equality", OBL and SH issues, I have.... The word "many" could apply to the equality issue is some countries, but not even close when it comes to voting, "improving freedoms", OBL and the fall of SH's regime. So, it might come down to glass half empty or half full perceptions, and I prefer the later. Most countries around the world today are moving towards more moderate be
They give us back what we need, nothing more or less. I could be wrong, but are you not speaking of socialism, maybe a tad bit of communism?
I'm not going to reward this ridiculous and inflammatory post with any more replies than I already have. I have to ask, did you personalize his post? If so, what's gained. I am sure he wasn't pointing his frustrations at you. Yet, your post imply's otherwise. Don't know whether your aware
When we try to tell them specifically what's wrong and what should be done, they take to a diatribe fit. I beg to differ on half your point. I concur, the Dems tell everybody and anybody what's wrong with the GWB's Admin. But, I haven't heard one Dem leader, or any of their junior followers put their
I wonder if the guys in the yard will call him, richdick. heh heh heh Nope... they'll call him a catcher anytime their inclined.
I misunderstood your intent Gid... You're referencing the folks that don't want to work, and know that by applying at Walmart will be rejected for one reason or another, there by allowing them to maintain their unemployment or city/state/fed'l assistance. In that case, I agree, and that would be applicable in any city where any large stores exist, not just Walmart.
Well, Wal-Mart may have built over there, but this article was about a store inside or outside the city limits in the Southside. I understand the ramifications surrounding location. But, my quest for seeing exactly when and where Walmart destroyed a community still stands. If and or when any small bu
A decent percentage of those 25,000 applicants is likely to be turned away because of the fact that they now do a BACKGROUND CHECK! (perfect place for someone wanting to continue unemployment benefits to apply if they have a criminal history). You have some validity. But, you need to factor in a few ad
The arguments AGAINST Wal-Mart are valid when they try to build in the north side where it would put many small businesses out of business and destroy communities in the process. I categorically disagree. Every small, medium or large business is in business as result of our supply and demand free capit
But when you are looking at the money drain, you stop thinking increased salary and start thinking "what can I afford to take". Very wise thought. Years back during one period I had 500 contractors out across three continents, and interviewed well over 150,000 white collar candidates spanning 32 year
Why Chicago rejected Wal Mart was not made clear in the article, but in reading some of the comments, it appears to be political infighting among the aldermen. If I had to guess, their decision reflected the supposed long arm of union labor, soon to be cut off. I don't care what anyone says about Wal
Maybe he thought his "celebrity" would save him from being prosecuted. Maybe he is just so arrogant that he figures laws don't apply to him. Let's hope Survivor prepared him for prison life because it looks like he might be serving 13 yrs. When I think of him, pathetic comes to mind. I agree with you
Sex is given up after marriage. So, the better question might be give up sex or coffee? Then another question pops into my head, bad sex or mighty good sex, verse always good coffee, humm Been married over six years and to my
borderline diabetics give up pretty much all sugar...including a lot of carbs, chocolate, breads, juices, ICE CREAM!!! That's not true... it depends on the level of diabetes and body type. I was diagnosed Type II diabetic about 6 years ago. With my system, limited amounts of sugar, like a tootsie rol
I am a catholic and not remotely close to being a bible expert. I use the Bible as a guide, take it literally in some cases, not in others. What I can offer to the subject is my belief that the Bible (all versions) has been reinterpreted many times by theologians over different periods. As a result, the bible presents facts and some ambiguities with hopes of not loosing the original intent. This is when I reach for my teaching bible for further cla
how about giving up sex? heh heh heh Thanks for the good laugh. Sex is given up after marriage. Has something changed that I am unaware of?
I use to volunteer to provide Xmas presents and food for one family per Xmas, and had someone else deliver the gifts. This one year I decided to handle it myself, did the shopping even dressed up as Santa when delivering the gifts. The charitable service always gave me a large family, ages and sexes. This year was no different, they sent me a file on a family of 7 where the father and mother didn't work. When I arrived, I sat outsid
Maybe money just proves how weak we all are? Money is an in adamant object much like an empty bucket with a range of purposes. Neither money or bucket makes us strong, nor weak, when used as intended. It's what we as individuals bring to the choice process that determines our strength or weakness, oth
I would bet the lesson you learned that day was one your grandfather knew he would be teaching You're exactly right.... He knew, which is why he told me not to befriend any animals. He also knew I would go against his advice, as most kids. Just look at what happens with many of the animals raised by 4
I like to sample different blends; I like to grind the beans myself and spend time in the kitchen when the java is brewing so I can take in the aroma. I like to sip slowly and taste the subtle differences in the tastes My sympathy with your adjustment. I too, have what my friends refer to as a coffee
I just blew up at my wife. It was not her fault, but she just said the wrong thing at the wrong time. And I blew up. The part that elicited my response was in your post above; you took it out on your wife before venting here. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF3
But I don't agree with your grandpa making you kill something he knew you considered a pet. I appreciate your difference. I didn't post my childhood experience expecting anyone would understand farm life or my grandfathers intent. I am glad because his action was aligned with life and the choices a
the picture of a butterfly in my hand shot through my mind, complete with me taking the wings between my fingers. The colors of the wings smeared onto my fingertips. As the butterfly struggled to get away, a wing came loose from my grasp. I could physically feel the flutter of the free wing on my fingers and hand. The flutter jol
I don't see it as a character question. It's more perspective and value call. What good can come from not pulling the wings of a butterfly verses what would come from pulling the wings and collecting a million dollars. If this is a the measure of a person, then I just tripped while trying save the butterfly and smashed it all together. Do I still get the million? .
